On Friday, September 25, 2020, Sam Post performed for the Internet Archive.Sam Post is an acclaimed pianist and composer who delights audiences with his signature mix of original compositions—ranging in style from neo-Baroque to hip-hop—along with the classics. The Washington Post has praised his abilities at the piano (“confident, sensitive...a pianist with drive and intelligence”), the Bay Area Reporter lauded his chamber symphony (“Post has created a breathtaking musical joy ride”), and luminaries such as Renée Fleming have commended his overall musicianship (“incredibly gifted”).In 2016 Yo-Yo Ma recommended Sam to Michael Tilson Thomas at the San Francisco Symphony for a string quartet commission. After the premiere of the resulting “Sketches from Kazakhstan,” the Symphony again commissioned him to turn it into a chamber symphony for their SoundBox concert series in December 2017. Baltimore Chamber Orchestra is slated to give the East Coast premiere in January 2022. Sam’s 2017 solo album “Dizzy Days” made W. Royal Stokes’ notable jazz releases that year, was featured on the cover of the Syncopated Times, and No Depression called it “dazzling in its knife-sharp precision and riveting craftsmanship.”In 2016 Sam co-founded Kassia Music and has written and performed dozens of new pieces with the group in various configurations, from duos to sextets. Most recently, for their quarantine concerts, they have recorded his “little concerto” for sextet, a march for clarinet & piano, and new arrangements of “Amazing Grace” and “Red River Valley” for three voices. The group is the current ensemble-in-residence at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Bethesda, MD.Sam has written over 150 pieces of chamber, piano and vocal music since 2011. In the last year he started writing music for one hand at the piano, and also branched into hip-hop (with an ode to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren) and pop (“Social Distancing,” a song for the pandemic).Sam is on the piano and composition faculty at Levine Music.You can find out more about Sam and his music at http://samueljpost.com
